Indication vaccination for chronic diseases

When is an indication vaccination useful for chronic diseases?

‍

Vaccinations are particularly important for patients with chronic illnesses, such as long-lasting illnesses that cannot be completely cured. These include cancers, diseases of the respiratory system, the heart or circulatory system, the liver or kidneys, chronic intestinal inflammation, nerve diseases, metabolic disorders such as diabetes or inflammatory-rheumatic diseases.

This is because it is precisely within these groups of people that the risk of severe courses or complications of diseases that can be prevented by vaccinations increases. According to the Standing Vaccination Commission (STIKO), all standard vaccinations should be carried out according to the vaccination calendar. However, there are other diseases from which you should be particularly protected.
